libsndfile: buffer overflow when processing crafted IRCAM audio files
A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in libsndfile version 1.2.2 and potentially earlier versions when processing malformed IRCAM audio files. The vulnerability occurs in the ircam_read_header function at src/ircam.c:164 during sample rate processing, leading to memory corruption and potential code execution.
A flaw was found in the libsndfile library. A buffer overflow can be triggered when a specially crafted IRCAM audio file is processed, specifically when attempting to set the sample rate. This issue can cause a crash to the application linked to the library and result in a denial of service.
Statement: To exploit this flaw, an attacker needs to be able to process a specially crafted IRCAM audio file with the ap

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2
